Like most open source projects, Perl isn't quality assured or commercially supported. So, it may not be safe for business or enterprise-ready for mission-critical applications. Don't let Perl fail your systems and cost your business in lost revenue.

CA, Siemens and Boeing are just a few Fortune 1000 companies that trust ActiveState for development, management and distribution solutions for fail-safe Perl.
